I miss you uncle, I wish you were here to see me get older and I think about you every day.  I cant believe its almost been two years without you and ever since you've been gone I haven't been the same.  You were the sweetest most kind hearted person I had ever met and I know you're watching over me.  I promise I'll make you proud. 

I have many great memories with Dennis. We went to many basketball games over the years in many different cities. We shared a great love for TACOS!!! He was one of a kind and such a great mentor to me and I am sure many others. He and I were friends for almost 20 years. Dawn, Bree and I would laugh with him for hours during our ROAD trips to an arena that was just 5 min down the road. (Lol) I will miss him dearly and he will always hold a special place in my heart. Much LOVE my dear friend.

Never will forget our family vacation when all of us came to Colorado to see you and Dottie, what a wonderful time you and her showed us.  I know you and dad are watching over us all now, because someone we loved is in heaven.

I'm so sorry to hear about Denny's passing.  He was such a friendly, kind and giving person.  He was a kind soul.  May he rest in peace in Heaven.

I remember Dennis as a kind and generous person.  He always had something nice to say.  He was delighted to hear my grandson was playing football in a league he was familiar with and offered him lots of encouragement.   He trusted me ride his bike around town with Dottie too.  I'm grateful for the time we got to know each other.

Denny was a gentle, loving spirit! I never ever heard him say a mean word about anyone - except maybe  a few politicians. He was  the most kind & generous person anyone could ever meet! All who crossed paths with him, he treated them with dignity and respect. He lived his life with goodness and grace - always! 
As an uncle, brother, father, grandfather, friend and spouse to my sister, his passing leaves a hole in our hearts!  


My nino was the greatest man I knew he was always there when I needed him and this on hurt so bad. I will miss our talks going out to eat talking about all the stuff he seemed to only understand. He will be missed and I hope I can at least grow up to be half the man he is Rip nino I know your looking down on means I love you and miss you.

I got to know Dennis working with his company for many years, traveling to the USA for business.  I was always pleased to see Dennis at Heli Expo and would miss him if he wasn't in attendance (didn't happen much).  More than business, we would discuss politics and he was kind enough to supply me with political memorabilia as this was an interest we both shared even though we backed different teams.  Whenever I remember Dennis it makes me smile as he was such a warm welcoming individual.

My uncle Denny was my best friend . He took care of me taught me how to ski when I was young helped me when I was sad I would call and bug him at any hour of the night he would answer me . Probably not happy but still answered me . He loved  my son Dominic so much and was so proud of me . Can’t say enough about him . Thank you uncle Denny for helping me be a good man . Love Mike Mclean
